* [[TheWebAlwaysExisted The web exists everywhere]] for her-- she can whip out her laptop '''''anywhere''''' and have access to both our normal internet and the local internet of whatever world she lives in. [[EverythingIsOnline And use it to hack toasters and the Pentagon]]. Additional Sue points if her laptop displays an unnaturally long battery life. (i.e. the battery never runs out, even while adventuring in places where there's no obvious means of recharging it, such as forests, deserts, or mountains.)
* If the Suethor's favorite character has a one-of-a-kind weapon, Mary Sue will usually have a previously unheard of identical weapon. The trait is reinforced when Mary Sue's weapon was handed down to her through generations, especially if, in canon, no one knows where the original weapon came from. For example, if [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]] has the Masamune, the Mary Sue that has been foisted on him in a particular story will have an identical weapon called the Murasame.

* In fanfiction at its most unoriginal, an AuthorAvatar is sometimes just inserted into the story as it happened (the Tenth Walker is to ''TheLordOfTheRings'' as the American exchange student is to ''Literature/HarryPotter'') and has basically ''no'' effect on the plot -- she's there to either elbow aside each of the canon characters in turn and take over the plot points they were responsible for, or even more boring, just stand around and watch them do their thing, thinking all the right thoughts to show what a good judge of character she is -- maybe with a romance with a canon character or an occasional FixerSue moment thrown in. Reading these fics is like experiencing the original work with a thirteen-year-old fangirl talking in your ear. 
* MarySue is also often written into fanfiction as a character that not only was not shown in the actual movie (book, graphic novel, etc.) but who was really super important behind the scenes. 
** You remember that dark, brooding, emotionally closed off character who always had his guard up and never confided in anyone? well, little did you know, he had a best friend/relative/therapist/love interest who was the only person he ever felt comfortable talking to and he told her all of his hopes and dreams and secret motivations.
